Straub – Pearlridge Clinic

My friend got her surgery here. She had a lot of pain. I stayed with her over night. Shout out to the nurse Chad. Real good job nice and you can tell he does his job not for the money but to help people. They took real good care of her there.

My doctor is Dr. Lencinas & it’s always a pleasant visit. The clinic is clean and there are hand sanitizers everywhere, which I personally appreciate. I have been here multiple times when they’re busy but I still see my doctor really fast. I haven’t had an issue trying to get ahold of someone over the phone. In fact, my call lasts about 5 mins or less. Maybe I’ve just been lucky. There are a lot of secretaries to help check you in, which is helpful if a patient being helped before you is having a problem of some sort with their insurance or whatnot. It doesn’t really hold us up. But overall, I’m literally in & out in 20−25mins.
Dr. Lencinas is very knowledgable and his nurse, Gloria, is just as friendly. I like that it’s always a quick visit but still can thoroughly answer any questions I may have. Also, i have brought my 3 year old son with me to every visit & they’re so nice to him too! I would definitely recommend.

Have been going for physical therapy for my frozen shoulder (rotator cuff). The therapist are all very attentive and professional. I’ve had three different therapist here and each has their own style. One used shiatsu type techniques, one REALLY stretched you and one was more gentle. The pain level that each accepted varied too depending on their philosophy. But I believe all were in it to get me to be better in the fastest, safest way. A lot depends on me. I had misread the instructions (I’m a guy) and was not doing some of the exercises long enough, 30 second stretches, not 5 second. And all listened to whatever I had to say and answered any question I had. I’ve got one more to go, the first therapist. She’ll evaluate me to see if I need more sessions. Be sure to get there early. They all have jam-​packed schedules and every minute of therapy is important.

Love my Dr at Straub. She really listens to my issues and is on top of my health care needs. The nursing staff are friendly and calls me at home to follow up on my status. A one stop shop for lab, x-​Ray and pt.

I attend this facility for Dr. Kenn Saruwatari. I was referred to him by a friend. I put him on my slip when I was admitted to Kapiolani to give birth and he showed up there because I had simply requested him. I was beyond impressed by that.
6 years later and he is still a wonderful doctor who does have a heart for babies and children. You may find him eccentric at first but his knowledge in pediatrics will set you at ease. You will be in good hands.
Dr. Kenn will call you out on doing things that may not be best for your child and he will praise you for your efforts. All-​in-​all he has your child’s best interest at heart and means well. There’s no substitute for that even if he does seem truthful at times. But hey! Better be too honest than not well enough informed. He is absolutely doing the job your asking of him.
They are really easy with medical, the straub clinic itself is relatively easy to park and get to the entrance. The check in clerks are also nice. The nurses in his clinic? You could not ask for better people. Vicky and Betty (I believe is her name) are gentle, kind, friendly and treat you like family.
— we all know that this is becoming a harder and harder thing to find — helpful and truly sincere people.

I wish I could give zero stars for Dr Hino, pediatrician. If you are given this doctor because Dr Saruwatari is out-​kindly decline. I’m actually completely moving to another pediatrician away from this clinic so that we never have to meet with him again. He’s rude, condescending, and told me he couldn’t help me when I asked questions regarding my child’s health. Really? You can’t help me… then why are you a doctor? He clearly does not want my children as patients, and I have to oblige both my own family and him. I have never been treated so rudely by a so called professional. He’s someone who could care less about families and their situations, he’s too busy worried about himself. I will never step foot in this medical institution again regarding health care, if at all possible because of him. So, goodbye sad, sorry clinic. And good riddance to Dr Hino (if we can even call him a dr)

Dr. Hino was not satisfactory. Perhaps he was upset that he had to take my actual doctor’s patients due to him being on vacation or maybe that is just his personality. Either way, it was not enjoyable at all. This was my son’s first visit and I am a new mom. I envisioned something different when thinking of my son’s first pediatric visit. He was cold and unfriendly. When I asked questions that perhaps were too «dumb» he answered in a condescending manner that makes me not want to ask any other questions. That is not how someone should feel visiting their pediatrician. I suggest possible clients go elsewhere and choose Dr. S instead (though you will run the risk of having Hino when he is on vacation.
Pediatricians are plentiful and are here to serve US – not the other way around. Not to mention the facility needs renovation and smells.

It’s my first time coming here with my client. She has a eye doctor at 2 so we came in on time. I love the fact that there’s parking upstairs but I don’t know about the stairs. My client has arthritis on both her knees and taking the stairs adds on some pain. I would say have elevators for patients with problems or any disabilities would be more accessible to them.
Regardless we park by toys r us parking structure it would still be a problem with the walking distance to my clients appointment. She says she doesn’t mind the walk but I know she’s lieing, I can see it in her eyes.
Also, the waiting… no one likes to wait especially for people who may come in early and still have to wait a few hours. While waiting a kid behind us was snoring like he haven’t slept in days or school literally tired him out.
I rate this place 3 only because the waiting and the stairs, om behalf of my clients struggle.

Brought my gf here for some sort of testing. Nice clean waiting area. Coffee available, yay!
Test was done faster than they said. Aurite!

5 receptionist waiting to check you in, really friendly and polite staff.

This clinic is always busy, in person and on the telephone. But it is in a very convenient location and very clean. There’s a pharmacy located within. The services here range from urgent care to ophthalmology to dermatology to name a few. Parking is free by the Pearlridge Office Center.
One note… I miss having Dr. M. Price here who has transferred to Straub Hawaii Kai.
